In the technologically advanced city-state of KwaZulu Union Bay City, peace and prosperity governed.

However, tragedy strikes when Mandisa Xaba - a detective known to be partially militant - becomes the prime suspect of the murder of the city's most feared crime boss hours after she was taken off an undercover operation surrounding his cartel.

Detective Xaba is forced to go rogue to prove her innocence when the only person who believes her is an amateur investigative journalist, Mpho Seme.

The pair find themselves in a cat and mouse chase with a vicious killer who claims to be uncovering a conspiracy theory surrounding some of the city's most influential people.
